In focus: South Sound Mounted Shooters ride through Spring Fling

The South Sound Mounted Shooters hosted its Spring Fling competition at the T90 Ranch in Tenino over the weekend. 

“Mounted shooting embodies the spirit of the American Old West, where horse and rider — ride fast and accurate, as they compete in a timed event,” stated a news release from the group last year. 

Participating riders took aim at 10 balloon targets using .45 caliber single-action revolvers with certified black powder blanks. No live ammunition was used or allowed on the premises at any time.

South Sound Mounted Shooters is a local, charity based club in south Puget Sound affiliated with the Cowboy Mounted Shooting Association (CMSA).

All South Sound Mounted Shooters events are sanctioned and governed by CMSA rules and regulations.

T90 Ranch is located at 16641 Old Highway 99 SE in Tenino. Learn more about the venue at https://t90ranch.com/.
